The Community Foundation exists to Build Thriving Communities by guiding strategic philanthropy, providing leadership on critical issues, promoting civic engagement, and inspiring local giving. Established in 1973, The Community Foundation is a public charity made up of hundreds of charitable giving funds established by generous individuals, families, and businesses. With a local presence in DC, Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, and Northern Virginia, we partner with donors and nonprofits throughout the region to help make their vision for lasting change a reality. As the region’s largest local funder, we manage over $350 million in assets and have invested more than $1.3 billion to build more equitable, just, and enriching communities where all residents can thrive.
